I don't really think of this as fixed at all. Sound doesn't appear to go through the daemon, even when using esddsp.

Illustrative example:
Say I've got xmms running with the ESD output plugin. Say that I want to start up winamp (work with me here). I've got something playing on xmms, thus using the daemon, when the window for Winamp finally pops up. When I try to start something playing with Winamp thereafter, whether something else is playing or not, I get errors saying that the sound device is not openable.
Okay, repeat that earlier setup, except this time I have nothing playing on xmms. I try playing something on Winamp, and it's going great. However, now nothing else that calls esd (esdplay, the xmms esd plugin, etc) will output sound until after I exit Wine, at which case it'll all come out at once.

Short version: esddsp isn't a fix, it's a (poor) workaround.

(I'd happily contribute a real driver if I knew the first thing about programming Wine...)
